Two men are injured after five men allegedly forced their way into their St Albans home armed with steel poles.

Police allege a group of five men broke into a Foxton Street home at about 1am Sunday.

The men then fled the scene with stolen goods, police allege, crashing their car into a tree on St Albans Road soon after.

Police arrested three men at the scene, aged 20, 25 and 26, but are searching for another two men.

The two Foxton Street residents were treated for injuries, with a 29-year-old man taken to the Royal Melbourne Hospital with facial injuries and a second 31-year-old man was treated at the scene with minor leg injuries.

Detectives are investigating and are asking anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.
